The Enid Blyton Society

Another exciting chapter... things are certainly gathering speed and clues beginning to drop into place. Thanks Rob.

'gathering speed' = getting more preposterous!

Thank you Daisy! I'm quite amazed that there are only another 9 chapters to go now!

heading towards the home-straight, thankfully, lol!

And very exciting it is too!

lol - thanks Daisy! I just thought I'd rejuvenate the Weekly Serial thread, before my serial finishes!

Only another 6 chapters to go!!! At least hopefully it will feel like summer is on its way by then!

I've fully intended to start this serial 2/3 times over the last few months but so far not managed it. I'm looking forward to reading the whole story, Rob.

Thanks Nick - hope you find it enjoyable when you read it. Only about another five chapters to go and it will be finished!

Time flies!
It's been a long time since I wrote. I read the Serial each week, but was a bit distracted the last few weeks to write. I'm looking forward to the next chapters, even if I'm sad then to see the end of this story. I do wonder about some characters, but I will see, won't I?

Thanks Dinah! I agree time flies! It doesn't seem long since my serial was starting and I thought 'wow! It doesn't finish until April!" and now we are almost there.

Thought I'd add a sneaky illustration, now my story is reaching the climax - actually its a 'showbook' I made last year, when we were trying out our own designs, but I didn't post a photo until now as it revealed certain aspects of the plot.

Those who are following the story will see I made liberties with the illustration, as in reality only Barney is in this scene, but still!

It's a really gripping chapter - thanks for the illustration Rob. I couldn't begin to picture it from the description, although I didn't try very hard as such machines are beyond my imagination. I'm thoroughly enjoying each weekly episode.

thanks Daisy! I don't think I can really picture the machine either, lol - its just a bit fuzzy in my imagination!! Anyway it has a lot of tubes and wires!

I like your '"showbook" illustration, Rob. I can see the three-dimensional elements of it. I love the swirling pattern of the cave. It shows depth. The only criticism is the man near the machine. He has a potato-head!

Thanks for the chapter, poor Barney... Looking forward to the next chapters, even if it means that the story will be finished.

Lol! Yes - I was thinking that when I looked at the photos I took! Somehow it looks better in real life - but his head is too small, and rather red!!
